The meeting lasted approximately 18 minutes. Vice Mayor Joey Luiz was absent.
The council met in closed session at 5 p.m. to discuss a city administrator appointment, but in open session had no new action to report.
Mayor Joyce Overton told Lake County News after the meeting that background checks and negotiations are still under way with candidates for the city administrator job, last held on a full-time, permanent basis by Dale Neiman, who left last November.
“We haven't actually confirmed anybody yet,” she said.
Steve Albright, the city's interim city administrator, left early last month after an offer had been made and accepted by Tully Clifford, who later turned the offer down.
The medical marijuana dispensaries ordinance was included in the consent agenda, which consists of items not considered controversial which are accepted with a single motion. It has been through several previous hearings between both the council and the city's planning commission.
In other business, at staff's suggestion the council turned down the proposed donation of a 2,500-square-foot, unbuildable lot at 16544 Third Ave., which Celia DuBose had offered the city.
City Clerk Melissa Swanson told the council that she had suggested to DuBose that she contact the property owner who owns land on both side of the parcel, which Swanson said is only half the required size for building.
The council also appointed Overton its voting delegate to the League of California Cities' September conference.
Discussion of the redevelopment agency's proposed purchase of a property at 13981 Morgan Ave. was taken off the agenda but is expected to be brought back at a future meeting, Overton said.
